The 2021 CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (Portuguese: CONMEBOL Recopa Sul-Americana de 2021) was the 29th edition of the CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana (also referred to as the Recopa Sudamericana), the football competition organized by CONMEBOL between the winners of the previous season's two major South American club tournaments, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.

The competition was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Brazilian team Palmeiras, the 2020 Copa Libertadores champions, and Argentine team Defensa y Justicia, the 2020 Copa Sudamericana champions. The first leg was hosted by Defensa y Justicia on 7 April 2021, while the second leg was hosted by Palmeiras on 14 April 2021.[2] The matches were originally scheduled for 10 February 2021 and 3 March 2021, but were rescheduled due to the participation of Palmeiras in the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup.[3][4]

Defensa y Justicia defeated Palmeiras 4-3 on penalties after tied 3-3 on aggregate to win their first Recopa Sudamericana.[5]
